Desrochers Receives CenturyLink Scholarship

Ryan Desrochers, a 2012 graduate of King Philip High School in Wrentham, MA, and son of CenturyLink Senior Account Executive Roland Desrochers, was recently awarded a CenturyLink Employees’ Children Scholarship by CenturyLink Inc. The scholarship, open to any high school senior that will be attending an accredited college or university and with at least one parent employed by CenturyLink, is worth $1,000.

CenturyLink received more than 400 applications from across the company’s 37-state operating territory. Of those applications, 80 scholarships were awarded.

“We are happy to once again award these educational scholarships to the deserving sons and daughters of CenturyLink employees,” said Fran Ahern, CenturyLink’s regional director for the Northeast. “Each winner was selected for exemplary academic accomplishments, along with outstanding involvement in community programs and activities.”

Desrochers will be attending The University of Massachusetts, Amherst, in the fall where he will pursue a degree in biology.

CenturyLink is the third largest telecommunications company in the United States. The company provides broadband, voice, wireless and managed services to consumers and businesses across the country.
